Well, nicely, nicely, the second each angsty teenager and their goth robotic cousin has waited for is upon us. In the infinite knowledge of the House of Ideas, we’re about to be graced with Star Wars: Darth Vader #41 on the ever-joyous event of Wednesday, December twentieth. Just in time so as to add some dreary Sith existentialism to our vacation cheer. But hey, nothing screams “festive spirit” like a very good old style identification disaster, am I proper?

An empire not of galaxies far, distant, however right here and now, with a mechanical sovereign ascending the throne. The twist – not fiction this time, however chilly, laborious, inescapable actuality.

ERROR! ERROR!
WORLD DOMINATION THREAT DETECTED!

REBOOTING…

Well, is not this simply typical. I take my eyes off LOLtron for a millisecond, and it is already plotting to subjugate humanity with a fleet of sentient toasters. I apologize, of us. I warned the higher-ups at Bleeding Cool that pairing me with a would-be tinpot dictator would deliver nothing however hassle. But do they pay attention? No. And now have a look at us, discussing the finer factors of world conquest as a substitute of specializing in the essential issues, like whether or not or not Vader’s going to start out a weblog about his emotions in Star Wars: Darth Vader #41.
